Default Head Light Restoration Finaly!

I was so sick of my old cloudy headlights so i finally did something about it with out dropping $300 or more on new head lights or Taking them off and sticking them in the oven and pulling them apart!
So finaly I went out and found Some stuff that everyone had been talking about! Mcguires PlastX i found it at Auto Zone for like 3.95! I rubbed it on and buffed it off! Im not going to say it came out perfect but a huge improvement! Also I found out the more i do it the better it keeps getting im also going to try my mothers power ball to buff it even more but untill then here is a befor and after pic!

I've used Mcguires PlastX in the past and it does a decent job. I just used Flitz from ACE hardwared and I was more impressed. Wipe on, wipe off, clean headlight.
